She was born on October 12, 1944, in Boulder, Colorado, to the late Albert and Charlene Porter. Yolanda was the cherished wife of the late Willie Myers, with whom she shared a beautiful marriage of 52 years. Their love story, which began in their hometown through mutual friends, was a testament to devotion, faith, and unwavering support. Together, they built a loving home and raised three wonderful children: Willie Jr. (Sandra), Angela (John), and Anthony (Tamika). Yolanda was a nurturing mother who always placed the needs of her loved ones before her own, and her warm smile and compassionate heart left a lasting impact on all who knew her. Yolanda’s legacy continues through her children and five grandchildren: Jonathan, Ashlyn, Floyd, Donovan, and Anthony Jr., who were the pride and joy of her life. Her family and friends will forever cherish the memories of her love, guidance, and the strength she imparted to them. A devoted member of her community, Yolanda spent 32 years as a compassionate nurse, providing exceptional care and support to countless patients and their families. Her gentle spirit and dedication earned her the admiration and respect of her colleagues and everyone whose lives she touched. Even after retirement, Yolanda continued to serve others, working with youth at local community and youth centers, teaching them valuable life skills, and sharing God’s word with a passion that inspired spiritual growth. A woman of steadfast faith, Yolanda was a faithful member of New Light Christian Center for 24 years, where she built lasting relationships and served with love and compassion. She also cherished her membership with Victory Temple Church in Fort Worth, Texas, where she was part of the Golden Angels ministry.
